BOTTLE-WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 429,184, dated J une 3, 1890. Application filed March 3, 1890. Serial No. 342,459. (No Infidel.)

T0 all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES W. BELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Dayton, in the county of Montgomery'and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Bottle-Wrappers; and I do hereby 4declare that the following is a full,

clear, and exact description of the invention,

which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, referencebeing had tothe accompanying draw ings, and to theletters and figures of reference markedthereon,which form a part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in bottle-wrappers,thc several features of which will be fully hereinafter described and claimed.

The Object of my invention is to so construct a wrapper, of paper or felt, that the folded portions about the neck of the bottle shall be about equidistant apart, so that in packing bottles in barrels there is less liability to breakage than when the folds are irregular.

The construction is shown in the accompanying illustrations, in which- Figure I is a top or plan View of the paper blank. Fig. II is a side view when folded to embrace a bottle. Fig. III is a horizontal section of the latter view on line .fr of the figure.

Like letters and numerals designate like parts throughout the several views.

A, Fig. I, is a paper blank, of quadrangular form, having two V-shaped notches at the top, and, consequently, is divided into three parts-viz., 4, 3, and 5and when folded the former overlaps the lat-ter of these, and when so overlapped the two sides have the same width as the central portion. At the dotted lines 6 and '7 the blank is creased for folding,

and the dotted lines near the edges show the extent of the overlap.

In preparing the wrappers for shipping, the parts 4 and 5 are folded down on part 3, and the edges of the former are glued together, and the flaps l and 2 are likewise secured to part 3. To the part 4 is the iiap l, and to the part 5 there is a like flap 2. These two ilaps j oin onto the part 3, as indicated by the dotted lines, parallel with the several edges, forming the angles of the top notches. These flaps are joined to the inner part of the blanks, and the case is then ready to be placed upon a bottle.

The overlapping parts of the neck of thev wrapper are shown at Fig. III.

The wrapper, as prepared to cover a bottle, is illustrated at Fig. Il. The three folds being equidistant, in packing bottles neck to neck the pressure is consequently uniform.v

Having fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,

Abottle-wrapper having a cylindrical part with overlapping edges adapted to cover the body of a bottle, a conical portion at the end of the cylindrical portion adapted to cover the neck, formed of part 4, with the uniting iiap l, part 5, with the uniting flap 2, and the central part 3, creased longitudinally at its junction with the former parts, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

CHARLES IV. BELL.
